A 'Fallout 4’ player is suing the game's developers claiming it was so addictive it cost him his job and wife

A Russian man is suing the creators of “Fallout 4”, claiming a
three-week binge on the game cost him his wife and job.

According to the
RT, an unnamed 28-year-old man from Krasnoyarsk,
Russia is suing Bethesda Game Studios for 500,000
rubles, or roughly $7,000, for failing to warn customers like him
that “Fallout 4” could “become so addictive.”

“If I knew that this game could have become so addictive, I would
have become a lot more wary of it,” the man said in a statement
to RT. “I would not have bought it, or I would have left it until
I was on holiday or until the New Year holidays.”

The Russian man says he regularly skipped work to play the game,
which resulted in his termination. He also said he had trouble
sleeping, eating, and seeing friends, and that his wife left him
as a result.

Sure, "Fallout 4" is an addictive, fun game to play. And since
it's set in a massive open post-apocalyptic world, it's easy to
pour dozens of hours into the game. But that doesn't mean it was
Bethesda's intention to keep people from their professional and
personal responsibilities. Bethesda did not respond to multiple
requests for comment.

In a statement to the RT, the law firm representing the man said
it wants to “see how far we can go regarding this case.”
